Bankruptcy Types for Small Businesses
Chapter 7
If hard times have made it impossible for your company to sustain operations, filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy may be the best choice. Filing for it involves liquidating non-exempt assets to pay off creditors. Chapter 7 bankruptcy can completely discharge debts and help you close your business in an orderly manner.
If you have personally guaranteed your business debt, you may also choose to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy to wipe it out.

Why File for Bankruptcy as a Small Business Owner?
There are a variety of reasons why you might need to file for bankruptcy as a small business owner, including:
- Overwhelming debt: When business expenses and debts become unmanageable, bankruptcy can eliminate certain debts or make payments less burdensome.
- Lawsuits and judgments: If your business is facing lawsuits or has been ordered to pay large judgments, bankruptcy can halt legal proceedings and give you time to negotiate a resolution.
- COVID-19 impacts: Many small businesses are still feeling the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Bankruptcy may alleviate some of the financial strain caused by decreased revenue and increased expenses.
Your Alternatives to Bankruptcy
Before filing for bankruptcy, it is important to explore all your options. These may include:
- Negotiating with creditors: In some cases, creditors may be willing to negotiate payment plans or reduce the amount you owe. Visit our debt negotiation page to learn more about this option.
- Debt consolidation: This involves combining multiple debts into one monthly payment with a lower interest rate.
- Selling assets: If you have assets that are not essential to your business operations, selling them can generate cash flow to make debt payments.
